What is the ruling on a group of women riding with a male driver?

Question : A questioner says: There are female teachers who teach in schools in villages far from their homes, and a bus driver picks them up daily and then returns them to their homes, and this distance is the distance of travel. What is the ruling on that?

Answer : This is not travel. In reality, this is not travel. As long as she goes to perform her job obligation and returns on the same day, she is not a traveler. So if the driver is trustworthy and reliable, and the women all go with him without any one of them being alone with the driver, there is no harm in that, because she is safe, and this is not called travel.
